  • ZTGD Ken McKown (@ZTGD) reported

    Anyone using VRR on Series X have issues with various games? Overwatch skips frames sometimes which can be distracting. I’ve turned it off but curious if there is a setting I’m missing.

  • hyugafe Niko Salonen (@hyugafe) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCSEU_EN Where I can reach for network engineering team? I really would like to have some kind of acknowledgment from false positive IPS hits from Overwatch. I don’t suffer from it (anymore) but many others do in Europe and they are powerless to fix it.

    @EliteLupus Gta sa, overwatch and totally reliable delivery service

  • Jebebediah Joob (@Jebebediah) reported

    @uwujulss I dont think this'd be a problem with me but Overwatch friend groups never go well for me 😔😔 and i suck at OW now lol

  • mana_bear widow main since 2015 (@mana_bear) reported

    my main issue when i rped an overwatch is that wow is the worldbuilding nonexistent. like i'll app a muse and try to make them work but it always feels like a struggle because either their lore doesn't exist or the lore is contradictory

  • Amies259 Amelia / Amy! (@Amies259) reported

    @segabassfisher yeah, i feel like youre at that point with apex as i am with overwatch, youre like "Maybe???" install it then like "nah lmao" tbh tho im getting sick of it, i stick around solely for the characters, the game feels less fun than ever with these battlepass changes (even after fix)

  • KhaldoonsLawyer Guardiolic (@KhaldoonsLawyer) reported

    The Overwatch Masters experience is essentially waiting 10 mins on your Priority Pass que. Fix up @PlayOverwatch

  • LoudFlameKing Alex Cline (@LoudFlameKing) reported

    @evilempirekid @TheSmithPlays Dang you really got nothing for Christmas? What region are you in? I don't got much but overwatch is like $15 off places like kinguin and g2a if you're ok with those, I've never had problems with keys

  • DanteRelapse DanteRelapse (@DanteRelapse) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix the overwatch server's , Can't complete the weekly challenge if i keep getting disconnected when im almost about to win!

  • HylianTimelord Joshua (@HylianTimelord) reported

    "Why?", you ask? Because **** them, that's why. I am tired of people behaving like disrespectful trash in text and voice chat in Overwatch and I am not afraid to call them out on it. If they have a problem with it, tough. This behavior has gone on for far too long.

  • PrinceNoirCos Prince Noir (@PrinceNoirCos) reported

    My Overwatch has been lagging bad. Anyone else?

  • banneddegen Degen (@banneddegen) reported

    @SnailOnTwitch @ecchigf_ is the problem that she streams overwatch?

  • ZenoKagemaru Snake Queen Zeno (@ZenoKagemaru) reported

    Another day, another idiot blocked for being a stupid troll. This time, it was yet another smurf-abusing hypocrite pretending as though Overwatch somehow DOESNT have a massive problem with smurfs.

  • balmung8 Aristotle (@balmung8) reported

    @PatStaresAt Jesus I never had an issue with toxicity in overwatch, I had it super bad in r6 and league but not a whole lot in overwatch... Granted the couple instances I did have in ow were pretty bad

  • MrHtech18 MrHtech (@MrHtech18) reported

    @aabidfaiyaz No, overwatch just doesn't launch a window... Trying to find a fix

  • paffver paffver (@paffver) reported

    @TRANSXlAO she’s probably going to be like tracer from overwatch, decent damage and mobility with low hp. if you have a good support or shield it shouldn’t be an issue

  • TinaGoesBoom «ɃØØϻ‼» T. Tina (@TinaGoesBoom) reported

    ~Cross-Over Scenarios.~ Overwatch ― Tina's a resident of Junkertown; possibly an associate of Junkrat&Roadhog's. A mechanic-girl as likely to blow-up things as she is to fix it. She holds the typical Junkertown-Hatred for Omnics and won't hesitate to strip them for scrap metal.

  • Mainboi294 call me scout (@Mainboi294) reported

    @waifuhuggerxoxo @ItzTwonkYT @Zrowable I use a g pro wireless and have no problems performing at a T500 level on overwatch, with heavy use (8 hrs a day roughly) I charge 1 time every 5 days or so

  • seraphicveils kiht ♡ sandalphon’s nekomaid (@seraphicveils) reported

    opening overwatch when youre sad is the video game equivalent of thinking alcoholism will fix things

  • NerdGroovy NerdGroovy (@NerdGroovy) reported

    Like, there were barely any lag spikes, likely due to so few people playing Overwatch on Christmas day, but the general latency wasn't much better than usual, though it was a bit better. So I think the shoes made the difference, which is interesting to me.

  • Elivonders Eljiah Vonders (@Elivonders) reported

    @PlayOverwatch overwatch. fix arcade. i cant find any games. this has been happening for months. clearing cache doesnt fix it. i cant get any of my lootboxes and im pissed nobody is doing anything about it or even acknowledging it. i could wait over 2 hours and still not find a game
